HOUSTON — One student injured two weeks ago in a school bus wreck that killed two other passengers remains hospitalized in good condition.

A spokeswoman at Texas Children's Hospital on Tuesday said Lakeshia Williams, 17, is the last of the injured students still hospitalized. Her twin brother, Brandon Williams, has been discharged after treatment for his broken bones.

Two students died and two were hurt along with their bus driver on Sept. 15 when a collision caused a school bus to plunge from Loop 610 in southeast Houston, officials said.

The bus landed on the eastbound frontage road of the South Loop near Telephone Road at about 7 a.m., Houston police said.

The dead students were identified as 14-year-old Furr High School freshman Janiecia Chatman and Mariya Johnson, a 17-year-old student at REACH charter school, a dropout recovery school on the Furr campus. The freshman died at a hospital and the older student at the scene. The bus was en route to the Furr campus, school officials said.
